    Provide an example of a player who does get a lot of RBI that is not a HR hitter. In other words, you could say that about anyone. Nevermind the fact that he is on pace to have a second consecutive 100 RBI season.

    No my friend that is pretty convincing evidence he was a troll. Whatever. I'm done with this nonsense. What evidence? Why is it such a secret? This isn't Watergate and we're not talking about Woodward and/or Bernstein. GO BACK AND RE-READ HIS POSTS First he posted the thread title as a fact not a rumor. Californiarasian101 then changed the title to reflect that it was indeed a rumor. Then in the post he claims to know someone that knows someone. Classic trollish post. Then he is gone for a while and comes back with enough information to keep the thread going. In the meantime he never posted in another thread, check his posting history. One does not have to be a genius to spot this jackass for who he really is. There is no secret. We've seen this stuff dozens of times. Trolling is just getting more sophisticated. I was on the ESPN.com website for years and this kind of stuff would happen all the time. The MO is the same just the particulars are different. This one was dressed up. Although I have no proof I fully believe that the rumor started here. Miles picked it up made a few inquiries and it moved on from there. It is all cirucular one story/question feeds the next and so on. Believe what you want.

    Go back and re-read his first post. That is not the media He didn't say it was a rumor. How can you stick up for this moron? I would encourage you to go back and re-read his posts. He was a troll. Crap like this happens every year. I'm surprised that people who have been here for a long time fell for it. He was good, but not that good.

    Once again Stone is a first guesser and not a second guesser.

    With all due respect, Mr. Miles reads this website on an almost daily basis and sometimes we are lucky enough to have him talk baseball with us. Bruce is at the game right now. And he thought enough of this website to quell the stupid rumor before anymore of us went crazy with speculation and anticipation. He is one hellofa nice guy.

    Marty Brennaman actually asked a GM about an internet message board rumor? If you think about it, that actually lends credibility to SweetEmotion. I personally doubt that the Reds broadcasters follow a Cubs MB. They could have heard the same rumor that SE heard. Anything's possible. Either way, it doesn't look like a deal's gonna happen but at least something has confirmed SE. Yeah, that's true. Or maybe Bruce was on here earlier (which he was but didn't post) and read the rumor, spoke to Hendry and spoke to Marty. This thing was bogus from post #1. Classic troll tactics only wrapped up a little more sophisticatedly.

    Oh boy, this should spark at least 28 more pages by tomorrow evening. exactly. I vote to lock it until tomorrow evening.

    Which uni is Dunn in? I kid, I kid O:)

    I hope I'm wrong about this but there are a lot of 1 to 5 post, posters (people who post) posting (that has to be a record) in this thread. I smell a rat or two. I think we are being scammed by a group of trolls.
  11. CubinNY
    What we need is a good old fashioned Daniel Stern loyalty quiz ala Diner for this dude. So far he doesn't pass the smell test IMO.
  12. CubinNY
    There is already one stinking thread about Pierre. Do we need another one??
  13. CubinNY
    If he is a troll (and I too suspect he is), the mere fact that his post has generated 10+ pages should be enough for him to get his jollies. I'm sure he has e-mailed his friends and they are getting a nice laugh over all the speculation. I propose that if any new person (50 posts or less) posts a "breaking news" post that it be immediately locked. If the trade comes to fruition then un-lock and heep praise.
  14. CubinNY
    Don't take this the wrong way, but six commas on one sentence has gotta be some sort of record. ;) Quite a nice rate stat BK! :D
  15. CubinNY
    I will believe it when I see it. This is one of those too-good-to-be-true info-mercials. "I made $345,000 last year buying and selling realestate with no money down". No offense, but this guy's first post here and he posts this. Yeah right. Then again I was poo-pooing the Nomar trade up until it actually happened, so you never know. I vote to ban him now and if the trade happens unban him and make him king of transactions usurping Hoops. The king is dead! Long live the king!
  16. CubinNY
    Faith no. Hope yes. At best he has a mixed track record so I sit and hope.

    If that is the deal I'd say the Angelos is grasping for this year badly. Ward is not that good and Burnett although a better than average pitcher is injury prone. On the other side they give up some pretty big upside potential guys in Bigbie and Penn. I feel bad for Lowell he grew up in Miami and went to FIU. Now he goes to Pittsburgh. I think the Pirates got an ok deal, turning Redman and Ward into Lowell and Reed. Obviously I think the Marlins did pretty well in this deal. Although it appears they are looking to the near future now. Oh well, at least they got something for Burnett. If this deal goes down I wouldn't be surprized to see McKeon shown the door too.

    Well they make a good comparison to Raffy's swing vs. Sosa's. No they don't actually. That article is a piece of drivel worthy of wrapping fish and not much else. Sammy is not getting the job done, end of the story. I don't know why people feel the need to vilify the man too. Same goes with Patterson. It wasn't enough that he was mired in a season long slump, people had to make him out to be a terrible person too. But hey, if it makes you happy....
  19. CubinNY
    Just to clarify. I agree with Rocket Sauce. I don't know what Roast thinks. Thanks :D
  20. CubinNY
    Roast.... you are aware that Cincinnati has outscored us 458-427 so far this season ?? Like I said before. The Cubs lineup + Dunn > The Reds lineup + Dunn The Reds have scored exactly 458 runs The Cubs have scored exactly 427 runs Dunn has 54 RBI you do the math I agree with Roast.
  21. CubinNY
    Patterson is 25, twenty-five. Through no fault of his own, he has had to learn the game at the major league level. He may never live up to his potential, but right now in AAA he is a better center fielder than Pierre.
  22. CubinNY
    jjgman21 your logic is fascinating.
  23. CubinNY
    Ha! :P My wife just asked me what I was laughing at.
  24. CubinNY
    Ugh! If Mo came back we'd all be subjected to endless, "he's on a break posts". They were funny for about 2 minutes and then just became annoying. No Mo no more, that's my mantra. The guy was the king of GDIP and ran the bases like a directionally challenged 6 year old. Did I mention he was terrible in the OF too?
  25. CubinNY
    One more time for those that missed it. I think I'll post it on each new page. Pierre's CS more than negate his OBP % and he does not play a good CF. His one talent is bunting.
